its nice to finally see a performance car that doesn't rely on bigger engine for more performance and power. it goes to show if engineers put their heads together and focus on what makes a race car great then you get a result like 4C. my only concern is that Alfa need to put this goppy 8C inspired design to rest now, as I wouldn't like to see the guilia be based on this round headlight themed design. its done its miles and its making their range look uninspiring. it looked great on the 8C but the continuation of the design theme onto Mito and guilietta is just making it bland.
